Meanwhile Arizona fans storm the field because they were ahead of 1st place Oregon in the 4th quarter.

Exactly. It's clear only one team in the conference has any experience with winning.

Well all the P10 teams win their non-conf games at least.

Man, as much as I crap on MWC officiating, the second worse in the NCAA have to be the PAC-10. I still shake my head at that one.

ah yes...the onside recovery. <wink wink>

I feel bad, that was a low blow during the holiday season. Can we still be friends?

I don't know. Can you drive a stickshift?

I don't know. Can you drive a stickshift?

Of course, I thought that was a prerequisite for becoming a member of CUF.

BCS Declares Germany the Winner of World War II
US Ranked 4th

After determining the Big-12 championship game participants, the BCS computers were put to work on other major contests and today the BCS declared Germany to be the winner of World War II.

"Germany put together an incredible number of victories beginning with the annexation of Austria and the Sudetenland and continuing on into conference play with defeats of Poland, France, Norway, Sweden, Denmark, Belgium and the Netherlands. Their only losses came against the US and Russia; however considering their entire body of work--including an incredibly tough Strength of Schedule--our computers deemed them worthy of the #1 ranking."

Questioned about the #4 ranking of the United States the BCS commissioner stated "The US only had two major victories--Japan and Germany. The computer models, unlike humans, aren't influenced by head-to-head contests--they consider each contest to be only a single, equally-weighted event."

German Chancellor Adolf Hitler said "Yes, we lost to the US; but we defeated #2 ranked France in only 6 weeks." Herr Hitler has been criticized for seeking dramatic victories to earn 'style points' to enhance Germany's rankings. Hitler protested "Our contest with Poland was in doubt until the final day and the conditions in Norway were incredibly challenging and demanded the application of additional forces."

The French ranking has also come under scrutiny. The BCS commented " France had a single loss against Germany and following a preseason #1 ranking they only fell to #2."

Japan was ranked #3 with victories including Manchuria, Borneo and the Philippines.

Illinois' O sucks. They could very easily be winning this game against Cincinnati.

[I.J. Reilly]

Cincinnati just ran a hook and ladder on a 3rd and goal from the 5. What sort of crap play call is that? If it weren't for Illinois being so stupid and committing a personal foul they would have had to kick a field goal.

There are some voters that have Cincy ahead of TCU. Hopefully that will shift after today.

And just like that, Pitt falls. Points for me on the Pick 'em! Woo hoo!

What I can't understand is why in the world, when the game is on the line, they don't send the house to block the kick. Pitt played that fg straight up and left two at home. Send the house! Block it! That's the only way you stay alive to fight in OT.

Some teams out there are really, really weak on the push upfront on kicks. It's almost as if they don't practice any formation but one.

That being said, Bill Stewart is lucky he got out of there with a win. WVU dominated that game statistically, but he refused to kick field goals a few times in the game. Had he done so, the score would have been more heavily in favor of WV. He's lucky his kid who hardly kicks in games could make that long-ish last boot.
